Don’t get your fingerprints on things?
- Comment on Took me by surprise 2 weeks ago:
Most times my judgment of dishonesty based on dogwhistles is accurate. This isn’t the bogeyman, it’s the norm for conversation, you’re the exception.
If someone says a slur to me, sure they might mean the best, but 95% of the time a slur means they’re being a dick. So I’m gonna tell good-meaning people to stop using that slur, or they’re gonna get grouped in with the 95% by someone at some point.
(Not saying that “female” is a slur, but 95% of the time someone uses it they way you did they’ve got some misogyny)
- Comment on Took me by surprise 2 weeks ago:
I know by your comment history you probably didn’t mean it this way, but when most people hear someone referring to “females” they think they’re bring deliberately dehumanized like the kind of person who follows Andrew Tate would do.
- Comment on Percentages 2 weeks ago:
I’ve always wondered how to disambiguate multiplication and addition of percentages. I guess that’s what percentage points are for?
- Comment on Scalper economy 2 weeks ago:
Don’t buy something meant to be used and insist you must make a profit for not using it. Rent it out at least.
- Comment on Scalper economy 2 weeks ago:
This world also usually requires you physically reach your place of work, which is typically inside cities. Long commutes cost lots of money and waste a large chunk of your life. And hey, if those cheap houses were available in cities, people would buy them, but they’re not. You can’t blame buyers for a supply shortage.
I think you fundamentally don’t understand the issue. The issue is land, not the houses built on top of them. Land is limited, and the investors scalp the land first and foremost. There’s usually enough land to house people well, but scalpers prefer scarcity so they can profit. Also, a lot of land is used very stupidly, just look at American-style suburbs.

Rent goes up too as property prices go up, because they know they can get away with it. And those are basically your 2 options unless you’re lucky enough to know people willing to house you for free (buy then they’re still struggling with prices).
I’m lucky enough that I have the option to fall back on my parents tight now, but I need to leave Florida for safety reasons and wherever I go I will not know anybody and hence not get that 3rd option.

I think this is from a survey, so keep in mind that its people reading and answering questions. Some number of people always interpret it a different way or misread.
- Comment on Not voting for genocide, explained 4 weeks ago:
This is an interesting look into your mind. Do you really think they’ll be the same? Trump will accelerate hit since he doesn’t even pretend to care, is that the same? He’ll also attack more minorities domestically, killing many more people, is that the same?
I guess in a black and white worldview those are basically the same, but 'cmon, we can have some nuance here.

Don’t worry, they’re also hostile to humans under the age of 70
- Comment on Websites: Then vs Now 5 weeks ago:
A logo’s very different from what I would consider an “ad”. I don’t mind logos existing, but anything pushed in my face is horrible and I hate it.
- Comment on I'm not worried you're worried 1 month ago:
Oh, I wish I could. The moral high ground means doesn’t buy anyone their rights or life back unfortunately, so you got a pretty bad deal there.
- Comment on The Divine Dick 1 month ago:
I know people like to call the holy trinity absurd because of the multiple entities being 1 entity, but I would like to direct your attention to plural people. Holy-trinity-like situations actually occur in real people. Even with different genders.
- Comment on The Divine Dick 1 month ago:
Intersex God!!! That implies intersex people are divine! Now if only Christians would stop trying to “fix” God’s most divine creations…
- Comment on How funny, right? 1 month ago:
The caption looks fine to me, and the premise of the joke makes sense speaking as someone with a rough childhood.

- Comment on Stress 1 month ago:
Well, I mostly solved the depression with estrogen, and coincidentally I’m seeing a therapist tomorrow for what I think to be CPTSD and some other symptoms I don’t know much about. I’m suddenly collecting an avalanche of diagnoses it would seem.
- Comment on Stress 1 month ago:
Even my 1 feels a bit cheated, since I’m assuming the intent of that question was someone in my family other than me has depression. I guess you can say it correctly predicted me having high risk, but it’s obvious from the kinds of questions asked that that’s mostly accidental, and that my struggles weren’t really considered.
- Comment on you can say segs on the internet 1 month ago:
Why wouldn’t you be able to say seconds on the Internet?
- Comment on Stress 1 month ago:
Just did, didn’t cover anything relating to my issues. I scored a 1, and that’s only because “Was a household member depressed or mentally ill” fits me.
I’m glad I’ve never taken it before because I definitely would’ve interpreted it as a sign that I didn’t really experience anything bad and that I’m just so bad at everything I can’t function in even a normal environment. At least now I can stand up for myself and say that’s not true. Still sucks to feel unseen by a test whose name claims to be general.
- Comment on Stress 1 month ago:
I sometimes wonder how much my childhood shortened my lifespan. I think work wouldn’t top that stress I had.
- Comment on Pringhouls 1 month ago:
Well the universe is 3+1 dimensional, and a Pringle is 2 dimensional, so yeah that would be bizarre.

My vote is not an endorsement, it’s a tactical action. Optimizing for as good of a future as I can means not doing “principled” votes sometimes.

It’s sooooo easy to find counter examples to that, like me. But I guess lying is a good strategy for them.

Whores deserve a lot more respect than that

Why does saying genocide bad = Putin’s pet? One can acknowledge that we cannot let Trump win and that Harris has some major issues.
